STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A bill that would crack down on repeat drunken driving offenders -- including yanking a person's license for 10 years upon the third DWI conviction -- has been offered by Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis.

In addition to automatic revocation of the driver's license, the law, if passed, would immediately suspend the person's vehicle registration and revoke the vehicle's license plates.

It would also suspend the registration and revoke the plates for any convicted drunken driver caught with a suspended license.

"Repeat drunk drivers have been and continue to be a chief concern for law enforcement and impose an extreme danger to our society," said Ms. Malliotakis, noting the recent indictment of an Islander on charges relating to a drunk driving accident in which two died. "Repeat offenders tend to drive with the highest blood-alcohol levels and are the main contributors to the drunk-driving population in New York."
